The bicycles have an alloy frame and composite fork. “Specialized” is printed on the downtube, “Allez” is printed on the bottom of each fork leg and “FACT” is printed on the inside of the left fork leg.

What are the defects?

Affected forks may fail due to a potential weakness in the fork crown.

What are the hazards?

If the affected forks fail whilst the bicycle is in use it may cause a loss of control of the bicycle, posing a serious risk of injury to the rider.

What should consumers do?

Consumers should stop using the affected bikes immediately and return them to their nearest Authorised Specialized Retailer for free installation of a new replacement fork.
